From the Mature B-lymphocytes develop sequentially from
transitional type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) precursors in the spleen. To
elucidate the mechanisms that regulate the developmental fate of these
distinct B cell subsets, we investigated their biochemical and
biological responses following stimulation through the B-cell antigen
receptor (BCR). As compared with the T1 subset, T2 cells are more
responsive to BCR engagement, as evidenced by their robust induction of
activation markers, expression of the prosurvival protein
Bcl-xL, and enhanced proliferation. BCR stimulation
of T2 cells leads to the appearance of B cells with mature phenotypic
characteristics, whereas T1 cells die. All of these T2 responses are
dependent on the BCR signal transducer Bruton's tyrosine
kinase, which is dispensable for the T1 to T2 transition.
Furthermore, the serine/threonine kinases ERK, p38 MAPK, and Akt are
predominantly activated in T2 compared with T1 B cells following BCR
cross-linking. We conclude that T1 and T2 B cells respond
differentially to BCR engagement via the induction of stage-specific
signaling pathways. In turn, these signaling pathways probably govern
the development and selection processes that are critical for the
formation of the mature B cell compartment.
